Lu Shao is cunning; Miss Nan has fallen for his tricks again.

Chapter 180 Banning Su Nian
"I've told you so many times, you can't eat cold food," Lu Zhiyan said earnestly.

"I know, it won't happen again." Nan Xu brushed it off with a coquettish tone.

After dinner, Nan Xu went to the bathroom to wash up, while Lu Zhiyan took his phone and went into the study. He closed the door behind him and made a call.

"Hello, this is Chen Chao."

"Zhiyan, what's up so late?" Chen Chao sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, eating fruit.

"There's someone in the entertainment industry named Su Nian who offended my wife. Do I have to tell you the rest?" Lu Zhiyan said in a deep voice with a hint of ruthlessness as he leaned against the door with one hand in his pocket.

Upon hearing this, Chen Chao smiled and said, "You personally called me for some nobody? Couldn't you have just sent a message? And my sister-in-law, you could have just told me directly instead of bothering to call me."

"My wife is timid and only dares to bother me."

"Stop showing off. I may not know the Nan family, but I know the Lin family. None of them are easy to deal with, especially that Lin Peiqian," Chen Chao said through gritted teeth.

"It's been so long, why are you still remembering it? Forget about it as soon as possible. I need to call Pei Yuan. Bye."

"Why did you call Pei Yuan? To talk about this too? He's right next to me. I can just pass on the message to him, which will save you time."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Pei Yuan pushed the door open and entered. He appeared to be a gentle and refined gentleman, but behind the scenes he was more ruthless than anyone else.

"That's perfect. Just repeat exactly what I just told you to him."

"Okay, I'm hanging up."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Chao picked up a bottle of foreign liquor from the table, poured a glass for Pei Yuan, and handed it to him.

Pei Yuan took the wine glass and sat down on the single sofa next to Chen Chao. "Who were you talking to on the phone just now?"

"Zhiyan, some clueless nobody has offended your sister-in-law. We need to do him a small favor." Chen Chao poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

A small favor? In the entertainment industry, isn't a simple matter of being blacklisted or banned a piece of cake? This is a piece of cake for them.
"Oh? Who?" Pei Yuan took a sip of wine and curled the corners of his lips.

"I don't know her by name, Su Nian."

Su Nian? Pei Yuan's eyes darkened. If he remembered correctly, this Su Nian was Yu Yu's best friend.

But that's fine, he was tired of playing it anyway, so we can deal with it together.

Su Nian's entertainment company wasn't even a top player in the industry. Chen Chao and Pei Yuan made a call to their boss, Gu Qiang, and the matter was settled.

Although Gu Qiang was somewhat dissatisfied, Chen Chao and Pei Yuan controlled 80% of the resources in the domestic entertainment industry.

It's extremely difficult for hundreds of companies to compete for the remaining 20% ​​of resources.

He could choose to go against Chen Chao and Pei Yuan's wishes, but those 80% of the resources would never fall into his hands, even if he threw them away.

He can still distinguish between self-interest and a saintly heart.

After hanging up the phone, he didn't care what time it was and called Chen Yu, asking her to bring Su Nian to the company.

He then drove to the company.

"What exactly happened? Why did you get suspended like this? What did you do behind my back?" Gu Qiang angrily swept the documents off the table and loudly questioned Chen Yu and Su Nian standing in front of him.

Su Nian's legs trembled slightly, and she dared not look up at Gu Qiang.

The office was coldly silent for a moment. Gu Qiang took a deep breath and pointed at Chen Yu, "Speak, you tell me what exactly happened." Chen Yu glanced at Su Nian out of the corner of his eye and pushed all the blame onto Su Nian.

"It's Su Nian, she's with Nan Xu..."

Gu Qiang gave her a cold look, and Chen Yu immediately changed her tune, "She used Miss Nan's weakness to blackmail and threaten her. Maybe this made Miss Nan resent her, and that's how all of this happened." Chen Yu looked at Gu Qiang pitifully, looking like she was about to be rescued.

Su Nian looked at Chen Yu in disbelief. How could someone with such rosy lips and white teeth be able to distort the truth?

She was about to explain when Chen Yu's cold glare silenced her.

"Is that so?" Gu Qiang looked at Su Nian coldly.

Su Nian mustered her courage and said, "No, it's not my fault. It's Sister Chen Yu. She made me do it."

A hint of displeasure flashed in Chen Yu's eyes, and she turned her head sharply. "You're slandering me?"

"I didn't slander you. President Gu, it was really Sister Chen Yu who made me do this. She wanted to use the recording to threaten Miss Nan into giving me the second female lead role in 'Ascension to the Throne.' I didn't want to. She said that I would have to negotiate all my future work opportunities and endorsements myself. I... I really didn't dare to refuse, President Gu." Su Nian was young and felt extremely wronged, tears streaming down her face as she looked at Gu Qiang.

Chen Yu trembled as she glared at Su Nian through gritted teeth, seemingly not expecting Su Nian to reveal everything.

“You…you’re talking nonsense.” Chen Yu pointed at Su Nian.

“I’m not lying. The dashcam footage in the van can prove my innocence, Mr. Gu.”

Chen Yu shrank her arms. How could she have forgotten about this?

Well... with such conclusive evidence, Gu Qiang will definitely fire her.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qiang let out a breath of stale air.

Now that the matter is settled, there's no point in him pursuing it any further.

He didn't really want to hold anyone accountable; he just wanted to know who was the one who started this whole thing.

If it really is Su Nian, then she should bear the consequences of this incident. If it's Chen Yu, then she should terminate her contract and get out as soon as possible. Having Su Nian as an example will prevent the next "victim" from appearing.

Looking at Chen Yu's actions, he understood. It seemed that Chen Yu had instigated all of this.

"Chen Yu, you're fired. Go to the finance department tomorrow to settle your salary." Gu Qiang looked at Chen Yu coldly.

Chen Yu closed her eyes and said weakly, "Okay, President Gu."

"By the way, do you remember the employment agreement? You violated the terms of the agreement, and I will demand every penny of the compensation from you." Gu Qiang said, each word distinct, his eyes filled with coldness.

It's no wonder Gu Qiang is so calculating; their company is small and has few resources, and they've worked hard to elevate Su Nian to her current position.

Now that he's been ruined by one of her stupid things, how could he not be angry?

Even if he went to Chen Chao and Pei Yuan and pleaded with them, he might not be able to change their decision. Lu Zhiyan and Nan Xu were people he couldn't reach.

"President Gu, I've worked at Fenghe for five years. Aren't you going to show me even this much leniency?" Chen Yu looked up at Gu Qiang, hoping that he would change his mind for the sake of her many years of service to the company.

Gu Qiang sneered, "Su Nian, you popular young actress! I've wasted so much time and energy on her, and now I have to pay the price for one of your mistakes."

"Do you think a mere 500,000 can compensate for my losses? I'm a businessman, I value profits. What you've caused me to lose is far more than just 500,000. My company, which is so big, costs tens of thousands a day to operate. Asking you to compensate me 500,000 is already showing you leniency."
